Michael Franti - Yell Fire lyrics
Your rating:
A revolution never come with a warning A revolution never sends you an omen A revolution just arrived like the morning Ring the alarm, we come to wake up the snoring They tellin' you to never worry about the future They tellin' you to never worry about the torture They tellin you that you'll never see the horror Spend it all today and we will bill you tomorrow Three piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas Wall street crime will never send you to the slammer Tell all the children in the arms of their mommas The F-15 is a homicide bomber TV commercials for a popping pill culture Drug companies circling like a vulture An Iraqi babies with a G.I. Joe father Ten years from now is anyboby gonna bother Yell Fire, yo, yo ,yo Here we come, here we come Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo Revolution a comin' Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo Everyone addicted to the same nicotine Everyone addicted to the same gasoline Everyone addicted to a technicolour scream Everybody trying to get their hands on same green From the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy All of the riches taken back by needy We come from the country and we come from the city You play us on the record, you can play us on the CD All the shit you given us is fertilizer The seeds that we planted you can brutalize them Tell the corporation you can never globalize you Like Peter Toss said Legalize It Girls and boys hear the bass and treble Rumble in the speakers and it make you wanna rebel Throw your hands up, take it to another level And you can never, ever, ever make a deal with the devil Yell Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo Here we come, here we come Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo Revolution a comin' Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo (as sung live on 1/10/2005) - there are lots of bits I'm unsure of in this one
